ARTHUR - POODLE (STANDARD) / SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Arthur! My name is Arthur and I am a young, good-natured, and affectionate mixed-breed dog that weighs 65# and I would love to make your acquaintance. They say I am very popular with the ladies, but buddies are cool too. I like being outside on sunny days, although I consider myself an indoor dog. I really just prefer to be where my people are. I am potty-trained and I sleep on my own bed next to my stepsister. I’ve recently been neutered and I have had my first set of shots and something called a microchip. I am happy all of the time and I still feel like a puppy a lot of days. I have a lot of energy that I need to manage, but once I get a little tired out, I can settle down and relax like everybody else. As I get older, it will start to get easier for me. To help me manage it now, I like to be taken on long walks that give me plenty of time to smell the flowers. A hike is even better! My leash skills are pretty good, but I’m young and I am still working on them. I still get distracted a little…bit… …was that a Squirrel?!! I am very athletic and I bet I can keep up with any human! I like to run and jump, and I have a very graceful trot where I just glide along the ground. It just comes naturally, I guess. I like playing in the water when the hose comes out, and I can jump very high to try to bite the stream and then chase it all over. My stepsister just watches, but I think it’s great fun! I like shaking my stuffed animal toys (but not too hard my foster says) and playing tug-of-war with old towels. I wish the whole world could be my playground! I have been staying with my foster family for about a month now and we have been getting along great! They have a nice big yard for me to run in, my stepsister gives me somebody to annoy, and they are super nice to me. They give me food! I just think I’m ready to find my forever home now. Once I do, I will want to stay with my people always. I think I would like it if I wasn’t the only dog. I don’t really like being by myself too much and always prefer company. When I find that, I will be the happiest dog in the world! I’ve been getting a lot of attention in my current home, some structure, and a familiarity to their schedule. I am very food motivated and it always seems like I’m hungry. My stepfamily has been teaching me a lot. Everybody tells me that I’m super smart! Arthur is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.
